Japanese Chef Knife, 8 Inch Hand Forged Razor Sharp VG10 Kitchen Knife for Effortless Meat & Veggie Slicing, Professional Gyuto with Ergonomic Octagonal Handle, Premium Gift Box

The KAWAHIRO 7-inch Santoku is incredibly sharp, well-balanced, and feels premium in the hand. It slices through vegetables, meat, and herbs with almost no effort, and the ergonomic handle makes long prep sessions comfortable. Excellent craftsmanship and performance for the price. Highly recommended for home cooks and pros alike.

This knife is durable and comfortable Japanese style wa handle with a nearly worry-free stainless steel finish. The tip is excellent for fine detail work on vegetables and fruit and has made it one of the knives in my top daily rotation. The packaging is incredible work of art of its own! The stainless steel finish prevents rust and patina from forming. I do not recommend putting this in the dishwasher! I Purchased during the before Christmas sale at a great value for my money. The knife arrived very sharp and holds an edge well. When sharpening this knife it is best suited to use high quality ceramic whetstones & diamond plates. On my first sharpening I was able to apply such an edge that really bumping my skin accidentally resulted in an injury. At 210 mm it is a great size for most kitchen tasks. Meat, chicken, vegetables and fruit are all game for this knife.

Beautifully packaged! Very impressive. I bought as a birthday present. Exquisite knives, blades are sharp and made very well! I love these and my son is showing them off to everyone. The handles are uniquely balanced. Easy to use. Love these and highly recommend.

The quality of this knife is amazing. The packaging was top notch and you are getting a great gorgeous knife that’s razor sharp for a great price, It’s well balanced and easy to work, makes cutting anything effortless, I’m impressed with the quality! Love it .

Knife is sharp! Well made and is balanced right at the handle tang junction. Light and fast, but comfortable in the hand. I would buy another hands down.

The packaging presentation is really nice. The knife is very light and so I wonder about durability. The tip of the knife is off centered, and I hope it doesn’t affect the knife. Out of the box, the knife is very sharp. I cut into a partially frozen steak and was able to make very thin cuts. It cut very well. I am delightfully impressed! If it can hold the edge sharpness and not chips, this will be a massive win for the price. Update: Returning because the knife is defective. I question if the knife is VG10 because the edge is sharp but defective. I cut partially frozen chuck, and a melon.

Im satisfied with this knife very sharp light weight and like the design of this knife

I've been using this knife for awhile now and I've been impressed with it so far. It retains a nice, sharp edge, cuts well and feels good in the hand. I haven't had any chipping or rust so far, but I do maintain it properly and avoid using it on hard materials like bone or nuts. Which you shouldn't be using a Japanese knife for anyway. I also wash and wipe it dry after every use. If you're willing to treat this knife properly, it will serve you well and it's a great knife for the price, when you catch it on sale.

Good knife. I bought it for work in the kitchen. Now I want to test other knives of this manufacturer.

As described. Great knife

Great knife no issues

The kiritsuke is a beautiful knife and the handle shape feels really good in the hand. The blade is very sharp and with the k tip it looks like a small samurai sword. The only issue i have is that the turquoise doesn't shrink at the same rate as the wood in a dry climate so there is a slight difference in thickness between the stone and the wood. This isn't really visible but you can feel a slight difference where they meet. All-in al, it is a fantastic knife at this price point.

VERY impressive! I've never had a knife so sharp and sleek! Love it!
